I have been following this Board for awhile and was curious. I have owned 3: 92 Q45, 93 J30 & 02 Q45. As much as I love the 02 the 92 might be my favorite. It was burgundy, tan leather withFittapaldi wheels. I really liked that car. The J30 was the wifes car. It was navy blue with cream leather and was a beauty. Just a little small for me. I've also owned countless Datson's, er Nissan's. My all time favorite was my 71 240Z. I had that car for 12 years , put 139,000 miles on her, and sold her for what I paid for her new. I wish I still had that car.

I've had two: A 93 Q45 that was totalled in an accident, and the 95 Q45 I currently own. I liked the 93 better of the two, although the 95 has been cheaper to own so far. My all time favorite isn't a Nissan, but the 95 Supra Turbo I also own. It is worth more now than what I paid for it almost 4 years ago. The 93 is a close second though. It was really a great car. It had the good seats and firmer suspension of the original Qs, but had the first gear start, was the best color for first generation Qs IMO (Ivory pearl), and was built late enough in the 93MY to probably have the revised guides.

I've got mine modified to "BPU" level, which means it has a downpipe, exhaust and boost control. It ran 11.95 @ 117.6 mph, which isn't too bad IMO for about $900 of modifications. It really shines on a racetrack though. I'm actually taking it to a Z club track event next week.

1 94 Q, and I never thought I would own infiniti ever. I hope to get a 3rd gen. Q sometime... I like them better than the Lexus LS430, BMW 7 series, and MBZ S class

I've owned a 91 MB 300E, a couple 1988 Mazda 929s, a 1995 Mazda 626, Ford Explorer, 93 Accord... but this 92 Q I've had for two months is by far the greatest vehicle I have ever driven.

4 so far. 91 G, 91 Q, 94 Q, and 00 I. And no. 5 will be a G coupe I'll get towards the end of this summer. My wife and I both have Infinitis, as do my parents (91 and 92 Q), and my grandfather (i35). It's like a used Infiniti lot when we all get together.

just this one so far, but i doubt i will let it out of the family until it has irrepariable damage. (94 J30)

all future cars will be nissan/infiniti, bavarian, or not normally available in this country.

well, excuses might be made for an old domestic pickup for fun...

My current '95 Q45t is my second. I just sold my '93 Q45 3 mos. ago. And now a brief moment of silence as I have just heard my old '93 was hit and totaled by a drunk driver. The driver was o.k., but the nice looking emerald Q, and the OZ rims, were toast. Before the '93 Q, in 1998, I had a Acura Legend I sold to get the Q. It was also totaled within a few months of selling it. I just sold my beautiful Porsche 944 beacuse my sons carseat does not fit & I have too many cars. Lets hope it stays on the road. Moral of the story...dont by cars from me. If I didnt drive the life out of it, somebody else will take the life out of it.

I've owned 2.92 Q45. Totalled by my 17 year old brother. He got the car airborne and flipped the car OVER the highway guardrail upside down. The car kept flying and went right side up and then hit the trees. Nobody was hurt.

I have 2. The first is my wife's 2000 I30t Sport, and the second, is my 1994 Q45. Love them both. I have owned 3 Maximas an Altima, and a 1995 Nissan XE V6 truck.

I drive the Q 150 to 300 miles a day, and plan on having a 250,000 mile birthday party, just like Tech's.

This is my first actual Infiniti, but 2nd in the Nissan family. I had a S13 (240sx) before this. Quite a change going from a little sports coupe to a luxury sedan, but im liking it. I do miss the the sport compact scene alittle but i guess its time to grown up.

My first was a maroon 91 G20 drove from 45,000 to over 150,000 miles. Great car! Traded it in, as it was starting to desintegrate, on a black on black 97 J30. Liked it well enough but always wanted a Q. It was also a little small for real estate sales. Had the J for about a year and sold it and bought my current car, which is a black on black 96 Q45t. Bought it with 45,000 miles and just had its 100,000 mile birthday on monday. It is without a doubt my favorite car ever. Although I have had a couple of fun cars like my 1972 Camaro RS, 1978 BMW 320i, and I think it was a 1979 Lancia Beta Coup.

I've owned 2 Q's. First one was a '90 which I'm fortunate to be getting back within 6 months. I currently have '97 Black over Tan Touring. Can't see myself driving anything but Infiniti here on out except an SUV either domestic or foreign.
